10 tips to help prevent kids’ cavities.

You are the most important influence in guiding your kids to the lifelong habit of proper oral hygiene. Dental cavities are the number one leading disease affecting kids in North America.1 Make prevention part of your family’s dental hygiene, before cavities strike.

Start your kids’ regular dental visits soon after their first tooth appears. It is also important for their oral health to go about two times a year.

Supervise your kids’ brushing and rinsing until they develop the skill to properly handle the routine – usually around the age of 6.

Kids should be brushing and rinsing (under your watchful eye) at least twice a day – after breakfast and before bed.

Floss your kids’ teeth at least once a day – and keep helping them floss until they are able to successfully floss themselves.
